RS Reising M50

[Bleakie]

Hi,
Recently I have been reading about the early Pacific war and noticed a weapon that isn't in RS yet was used a lot and which could really balance out the sides without too much impact

wow 12 rd magazine? That is very interesting. The thing could almost serve as a slight downgrade/upgrade/sidegrade to the M1 carbine.

 

[Bleakie]

Exactly, also this weapon was used before the carbine saw active use! So add this gun to guadcanal etc.

 

[Bleakie]

Think it would be somewhere between m1 carbine and Thompson.

 

[mrsirr]

Well Thompson and Carbine have the same damage I believe. If this uses .45 it would be logical that it would also do the same damage, carbine would just have more range/accuracy.

 

[Bleakie]

It's got auto for desperate situations, may you should get semi from level 0? The M50 is like a beginners weapon: not being overpowered but not being useless.

 

[mrsirr]

Well if it were for assault then it should start with full-auto.

 

[Bleakie]

Yeah, the 12 round magazine wouldn't last a second

 

[Marsalkka Mahtimeisseli]

Yeah, the 12 round magazine wouldn't last a second

 

[Bleakie]

With 550 rounds per minute, it would last a bit over one second. Then again, Wikipedia states: "It was reported that the true full-auto rate was closer to 750

 

[Bleakie]

You also have to renember how quick reloads are, cocking handle is below barrel in stock! That is cool.

 

[Bleakie]

In combat

Late in the war possibly merills marauders or Philippines

 

[Bleakie]

Level 0-24

I'd love to use this on guadcanal ^^

No you wouldn't. It was an unreliable POS.


The M55 with the wire folding stock offset the accuracy of the closed bolt to make it almost impossible to aim when shouldered. And who would want the M60 carbine variant if a M1 was available?


The M50 is chambered 45APC. Unfortunately the game doesn't do ricochet damage, effectively allowing the Tommy to bounce bullets into concealed targets.

Actually the Americans found all their weapons to be unreliable in the tropical conditions, even Springfields got clogged up with sand

I'm not against adding it. I even started modelling the M55 at one point.

For early war maps it would have absolutely been used by the USMC.

BTW, the M50 didn't need sand to jam, it did it on its own. Marines hated the weapon, but since it was the only SMG they had at the time, delt with it.

Exactly, same for the japanese with the type 100.

However, the Japanese didn't have a different smg, the Americans had the all around better (and sexier) Thompson. I personaly would rather see the effort go to something else.
